I believe he has come up with great tips! I truly think using music in the classroom is extremely important. That was one of my favorites. You can do so much with music and kids really seem to enjoy it when it's music they like. Also using interactive tools like skype in your classroom is important as well! It allows children to talk to people face to face halfway around the world. It gives them something to look forward to. Doing lessons on the smartboard or interactive board are important as well. It is a different and fun way of teaching a lesson. It keeps students interactive and keeps them paying attention more. Of course, setting up blogs and wikis is probably the most important. All of these tips give students the ability to express themselves and gives them the ability to learn technology if different ways. Each of these tips requires the student to learn something different on the computer as well being able to apply in their daily lives! Every single tip that is on this video is something that we have come across in EDM310!
